# Create a WordPress CodeDeploy Bundle
<a name="gui-ex-create-wp-package"></a>

The section provides an example of creating an application deployment bundle.

1. Download WordPress, extract the files and create a ./scripts directory.

   Linux command:

   ```
   wget https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/archive/master.zip
   ```

   Windows: Paste `https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/archive/master.zip` into a browser window and download the zip file.

   Create a temporary directory in which to assemble the package.

   Linux:

   ```
   mkdir /tmp/WordPress
   ```

   Windows: Create a "WordPress" directory, you will use the directory path later.

1. Extract the WordPress source to the "WordPress" directory and create a ./scripts directory.

   Linux:

   ```
   unzip master.zip -d /tmp/WordPress_Temp
   cp -paf /tmp/WordPress_Temp/WordPress-master/* /tmp/WordPress
   rm -rf /tmp/WordPress_Temp
   rm -f master
   cd /tmp/WordPress
   mkdir scripts
   ```

   Windows: Go to the "WordPress" directory that you created and create a "scripts" directory there.

   If you are in a Windows environment, be sure to set the break type for the script files to Unix (LF). In Notepad \+\+, this is an option at the bottom right of the window.

1. Create the CodeDeploy **appspec.yml** file, in the WordPress directory (if copying the example, check the indentation, each space counts). IMPORTANT: Ensure that the "source" path is correct for copying the WordPress files (in this case, in your WordPress directory) to the expected destination (/var/www/html/WordPress). In the example, the appspec.yml file is in the directory with the WordPress files, so only "/" is needed. Also, even if you used a RHEL AMI for your Auto Scaling group, leave the "os: linux" line as-is. Example appspec.yml file:

   ```
   version: 0.0
   os: linux
   files:
     - source: /
       destination: /var/www/html/WordPress
   hooks:
     BeforeInstall:
       - location: scripts/install_dependencies.sh
         timeout: 300
         runas: root
     AfterInstall:
       - location: scripts/config_wordpress.sh
         timeout: 300
         runas: root
     ApplicationStart:
       - location: scripts/start_server.sh
         timeout: 300
         runas: root
     ApplicationStop:
       - location: scripts/stop_server.sh
         timeout: 300
         runas: root
   ```

1. Create bash file scripts in the WordPress ./scripts directory.

   First, create `config_wordpress.sh` with the following content (if you prefer, you can edit the wp-config.php file directly).
**Note**  
Replace {{DBName}} with the value given in the HA Stack RFC (for example, `wordpress`).  
Replace {{DB\_MasterUsername}} with the `MasterUsername` value given in the HA Stack RFC (for example, `admin`).  
Replace {{DB\_MasterUserPassword}} with the `MasterUserPassword` value given in the HA Stack RFC (for example, `p4ssw0rd`).  
Replace {{DB\_ENDPOINT}} with the endpoint DNS name in the execution outputs of the HA Stack RFC (for example, `srt1cz23n45sfg.clgvd67uvydk.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com`). You can find this with the [GetRfc](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/managedservices/latest/ApiReference-cm/API_GetRfc.html) operation (CLI: get-rfc --rfc-id RFC\_ID) or in the AMS Console RFC details page for the HA Stack RFC that you previously submitted.

   ```
   #!/bin/bash
   chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/WordPress
   cp /var/www/html/WordPress/wp-config-sample.php /var/www/html/WordPress/wp-config.php
   cd /var/www/html/WordPress
   sed -i "s/database_name_here/{{DBName}}/g" wp-config.php
   sed -i "s/username_here/{{DB_MasterUsername}}/g" wp-config.php
   sed -i "s/password_here/{{DB_MasterUserPassword}}/g" wp-config.php
   sed -i "s/localhost/{{DB_ENDPOINT}}/g" wp-config.php
   ```

1. In the same directory create `install_dependencies.sh` with the following content:

   ```
   #!/bin/bash
   yum install -y php
   yum install -y php-mysql
   yum install -y mysql
   service httpd restart
   ```
**Note**  
HTTPS is installed as part of the user data at launch in order to allow health checks to work from the start.

1. In the same directory create `start_server.sh` with the following content:
   + For Amazon Linux instances, use this:

     ```
     #!/bin/bash
     service httpd start
     ```
   + For RHEL instances, use this (the extra commands are policies that allow SELINUX to accept WordPress):

     ```
     #!/bin/bash
     setsebool -P  httpd_can_network_connect_db 1
     setsebool -P  httpd_can_network_connect 1
     chcon -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html/WordPress/wp-content -R
     restorecon -Rv /var/www/html
     service httpd start
     ```

1. In the same directory create `stop_server.sh` with the following content:

   ```
   #!/bin/bash
   service httpd stop
   ```

1. Create the zip bundle.

   Linux:

   ```
   $ cd /tmp/WordPress
   $ zip -r wordpress.zip .
   ```

   Windows: Go to your "WordPress" directory and select all of the files and create a zip file, be sure to name it wordpress.zip.
